This singletrack trail includes tight turns over a humped prairie with some sections winding thru the trees. This trail is non-technical and suitable for both mountain bikes, cyclocross riding, and children’s push bikes. However, some tight turns and a couple rock sections may be difficult for newer riders. Novice bypasses have been added in these areas.
